Ulster University Medicine: UCAT, A-Levels & Interview Requirements
Ulster University has not published a fixed UCAT cut-off for 2027 entry. Here's how UCAT, A-levels, SJT and the interview all fit together for medicine.
- 2027 UCAT cut off
- Not published
- How the UCAT is weighted
- Ulster does not use the UCAT at all. Its graduate entry programme is built around the GAMSAT, so a UCAT score is neither required nor considered.
- SJT policy
- Not applicable: Ulster does not use the UCAT, and therefore has no SJT policy.
- A-level requirements
- Graduate entry: no A-level offer is published, because entry is on the basis of a degree. The admissions test is the GAMSAT rather than the UCAT, with a minimum of 50 in each section.
- Interview format
- Multiple mini interview (MMI), which applicants must pass.
- When interviews run
- Ulster University does not publish its interview dates.
- Resits
- Ulster University publishes no resit policy. That is not the same as resits being accepted, and it is worth asking admissions directly before relying on either reading.
- Personal statement
- Ulster University does not publish how it uses the personal statement. Schools in this dataset range from scoring it to refusing to read it, so nothing can safely be assumed from silence.
What the UCAT had to be,
Ulster University does not publish one.
That is the university's own position, not a gap in our research. Any specific number quoted for Ulster University elsewhere is somebody's reconstruction from reported scores, not a figure the medical school has confirmed. Treat it accordingly.
Ulster uses the GAMSAT, not the UCAT, so there is no UCAT threshold to publish. Its GAMSAT position is unusually specific: a minimum of 50 in each section, plus an overall threshold for interview set competitively each year against that year's field. For reference, Ulster reports that across 2020 to 2023 the average overall GAMSAT of candidates invited to interview was 61.14.

National benchmark, for context
For context, the UCAT Consortium's own 2025 statistics report a mean cognitive score of 1891 (out of 2,700) across 41,354 tests, with the median (5th decile) at 1880 and the top decile at 2220+. This is a national figure, not Ulster University's own threshold, since Ulster University doesn't publish one for the current cycle.
UCAT Consortium, Test Statistics 2025Standard A-level offer: Graduate entry: no A-level offer is published, because entry is on the basis of a degree. The admissions test is the GAMSAT rather than the UCAT, with a minimum of 50 in each section. SJT policy: Not applicable: Ulster does not use the UCAT, and therefore has no SJT policy. Worth knowing: A four-year Graduate Entry Medicine course open to graduates from a wide range of science and non-science backgrounds. One of the few UK medical schools that does not use the UCAT: applicants sit the GAMSAT instead, which materially changes who can realistically apply. Applicants also need a satisfactory Enhanced Disclosure from AccessNI, a medical declaration and occupational health clearance. Always confirm against the official page before applying, since this is the most recent published position rather than a guarantee for the live cycle.
